How XP to recognize me as a system administrator?

I have a Compaq Presario with Windows XP Media Center edition, SP2.  It has been upgraded to SP3.  Is the name of the product: SR2027X; Product number is: RK554AA-ABA.

I am the sole owner of this machine and so the administrator.  However, when I use "MSCONFIG" and try to change the message: "access denied error was returned while trying to change a service.  You may need to log on using an administrator account to make the specified changes. »

My account is set to admin, then I do not understand this message.  How can I get the MSCONFIG Utility to recognize me as a SysAdmin?

Thanks, Terry

Hi, Terry:

I don't know exactly why this is happening to you, but see if this MS article on the link below, will at least allow you to run programs that are currently denying you access.

  • How to reset the password for the system administrator for Time Capsule?

    I need to do a system restore to 2008 MacBook my wife of my 2014 Time Capsule, and I'm stuck at the system administrator password prompt. It does not accept the password to base such as revealed by the Airport utility station > base station > show passwords on my MBP, which is able to save and enter Time Machine, even if the TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password. I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

    Although TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password

    You must use the right of the user and the password in this case. NOT the password from the drive.

    I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

    Reset complete... It will not damage the backups somehow... It simply returns to the default values.

    Let me recommend to you if you want to continue using the TC in this way... (useless IMHO). Please do an export of the configuration before factory reset you.

    With the help of user and passwords in the TC is near useless. It only affects the side of the router...

    If you need more security using encrypted backups... but the reality is... the security more you add less useful the backup is likely to be. As you have now discovered... When you need it... you need as clear and clear as possible.

    (1) make sure that your e-mail account password is strong, don't share between multiple accounts and make sure your PC has good antivirus and a firewall.  Scan frequently.

    (2) it's strange looking (topic...), ask them if they sent before you open it.  Be very suspicious to the links and attachments.
    And pls change the dangerous link out of your post.

  • How to become a system administrator?

    I had problems with the video driver from New York. Sometimes I get the blue screen, explaining that there is a problem with nv4_disp. I was told to update the driver, but evertime I try, I get "network policy settings prevent you from using this website to get updates for your computer." a mistake of what is called ox8ddd0003 and is said to contact my system administrator. I want to be the system administrator! How can I get there and so I have a control on my PC?

    Your system is probably infected with one or more malicious software applications, although there may be other reasons why various registry settings have been changed.

    It happened just before these problems started?

    You have a recent antivirus application (2 years or less) with a current subscription?  If this is not the case, see starthttp://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware with the beginning paragraph, "3. If the malware remains even after you've done all that, it's time to get interactive help."

    If you do not have a current active antivirus application (only one?), first download and runSUPERAntiSpyware Portable .  Run it and remove any malicious software that is found.  Reset.  Then download, install, update and runMalwareBytes Anti-Malware .  Remove malicious software that is.  Reset.

    You can get to the Control Panel now?

    What where you try to update your video driver?  Where did you get the new driver?
